I downloaded something earlier (DivX I think, if it
matters), and I opened it directly. Now all my downloads
do it. Well, 90% of them. When I click on it on the
bottom it say "Downloading form site (whatever), and then
either don't work or go to some open up directly. They go
to some distant folder, and they don't work.

I've tried everything I can think of. I deleted the
contents of said folder, I deleted my Cookies, I even did
a system recovery back to a few days ago. Nothing worked.
PLEASE, PLEASE HELP!!!!!
